throughout time the horse has been a symbol of strength and power. their massive, dense frames emit a raw energy that traverses into the earth with each powerful stride. the horse’s hammer, its hoof, became the principle influence for what would become the flyingJACK stainless steel bottle. dutch designer franky leering, along with a small group of creatives, developed the idea last year in an attempt to provide a bottle not found in any current markets. they chose stainless steel with smooth finishing to mimic the same raw refinement found in the object’s catalyst. currently, flyingJACK is seeking crowd funding through kickstarter: to support the project, click here
